Long Branch Municipal Prosecutor Steven C. Rubin said Wednesday that he did nothing improper in his public role, despite a claim by disgraced developer turned FBI informant Solomon Dwek that Rubin accepted free office rent in exchange for fixing tickets for members of Dwek's Syrian Jewish community.

Rubin has served as municipal prosecutor and assistant city attorney in Long Branch for 16 years but his life was turned upside down last week when Dwek - testifying in an unrelated federal trial in Newark - accused Rubin of misconduct.
